Question

Write the noble gas configuration for the following ground state elements:Calcium:Sulfur:

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} Calcium\text{ - \lbrack Ar\rbrack4s}^2 \\ Sulfur\text{ - \lbrack Ne\rbrack3s}^2\text{ 3p}^4 \end{gathered}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write the noble gas configuration for the given element'

To do this, we consider the noble gas before them

The noble gas before calcium is Argon while the one before sulfur is Neon

We have the noble gas configuration as follows:

`\begin{gathered} Calcium\text{ : \lbrack Ar\rbrack4s}^2 \\ Sulfur\text{ : \lbrack Ne\rbrack3s}^2\text{ 3p}^4 \end{gathered}`
